Principals for dealing with terrorist Poliquicks
Based on my experience (Larry Martines) in dealing with violent extremists there are two basic steps one must take when dealing with terrorists groups or movements:
1. The most obvious is find them and stop them from further actions by whatever means necessary. That is a given.
2. However, the other that is equally important is disruption! This means a forced change of modus operandi. Having to quickly change things both mundane – movement, logistics, communications, passports; plus advanced/aggressive methods – financing, weapons acquisition, targeting, transportation, etc., – creates disruption, even chaos. Mistakes are made by the terrorists, perhaps things even come to a temporary stall.
This gives the CT hunters and Intel people some time to find and fix their objectives.
By NOT releasing the photos of bin Laden and burying him at sea without a media circus taking place creates “disruption” in the larger AQ movement. An excellent strategic move by the DOD and the CIA. Good psyops! …
